Geometry Definitions

Understanding the vocabulary in Geometry is very important to your success in this class. Use this activity to enhance your understanding of the covered material. Play the matching game until it is completed successfully with all terms correctly paired with their definitions. Print the screen when you have accomplished this task and bring it to class for the completion of your assignment.

AB
MidpointThe point of that line segment that divides the segment into two congruent segments
Bisector of a Line SegmentA line or subset of a line that intersects the segment at its midpoint
RayA part of a line that consists of a point on the line, called an endpoint, and all points on one side of the endpoint
Opposite RaysTwo rays of the same line with a common endpoint and extending in opposite directions
Collinear PointsA set of points all of which lie on the same straight line
Line segmentA set of points consisting of two points on a line, called endpoints, and all points in between them
AngleA set of points that is a union of two rays having the same endpoint
Right AngleAn angle whose degree measure is 90
Straight AngleAn angle whose degree measure is 180
Acute AngleAn angle whose degree measure is greater than 0 and less than 90
Obtuse AngleAn angle whose degree measure is greater than 90 and less than 180
Angle BisectorA ray whose endpoint is the vertex of the angle and divides the angle into two congruent angles
Adjacent AnglesTwo angles in the same plane that have a common side and vertex but do not have any interior points in common
Vertical AnglesTwo angles in which the sides of one angle are opposite rays to the sides of the second angle
Complementary AnglesTwo angles whose measure sum 90
Supplementary AnglesTwo angles whose measure sum to 180
Linear PairTwo angles that are adjacent and supplementary
Perpendicular LinesTwo lines that intersect to form right angles
Perpendicular BisectorA line or a portion of a line that intersects the line segment to form right angles and bisects the line segment at its midpoint
Scalene TriangleA triangle that has no congruent sides
Isosceles TriangleA triangle that has two congruent sides
Equilateral TriangleA triangle that has three congruent sides
Acute TriangleA triangle that has three acute angles
Equilateral TriangleA triangle that has three congruent angles
Right TriangleA triangle that has a right angle
Obtuse TriangleA triangle that has an obtuse angle
